Hardeman County Commission October 20, 2026

The Hardeman County Commission meeting on October 20, 2026, included several budget and procurement matters. The commission approved the school system’s budget items, including a $25,000 appropriation for a replacement maintenance truck; the current truck was described as a 2008 vehicle with more than 230,000 miles. The commission also approved an ambulance bid following discussion that one submitted bid did not meet specifications; the vendor and award amount are unclear in the transcript. The county reported bids of approximately $800,000 to replace 15 HVAC units in the C wing, with a $425,000 grant available, but no award decision was stated. Commissioners approved a lease for an ambulance staging facility, with utilities included and the first six months covered by donations; the lease amount was not stated. Grant-funded emergency-response equipment, including AEDs, was also reported as arriving.

The commission approved two zoning amendments, while sending proposed mobile-home-park standards back to the planning committee for further review, including research into acreage, well, and septic requirements. These proposed standards drew public comment about potential effects on affordable housing and development costs. The commission also discussed possible countywide solid-waste collection options, but took no procurement action on that topic. No vendor names or clear contract amounts were available for the ambulance bid or facility lease in the transcript.
